Is dynamical systems modeling just curve fitting?

چکیده
The development of mathematical tools for describing dynamical systems has made it possible to characterize forms of behavior that could not be characterized before. This represents progress, but the enterprise runs the risk of being nothing more than curve fitting if investigators fail to identify the physical, biological, or psychological mechanisms which are common to systems that follow the same dynamical regime and which are not common to systems that do not follow the same dynamical regime.

Capturing Outlines of Planar Generic Images by Simultaneous Curve Fitting and Sub-division
In this paper, a new technique has been designed to capture the outline of 2D shapes using cubic B´ezier curves. The proposed technique avoids the traditional method of optimizing the global squared fitting error and emphasizes the local control of data points. A maximum error has been determined to preserve the absolute fitting error less than a criterion and it administers the process of curv...
متن کاملData2Dynamics: a modeling environment tailored to parameter estimation in dynamical systems
UNLABELLED Modeling of dynamical systems using ordinary differential equations is a popular approach in the field of systems biology. Two of the most critical steps in this approach are to construct dynamical models of biochemical reaction networks for large datasets and complex experimental conditions and to perform efficient and reliable parameter estimation for model fitting. We present a mo...
متن کاملSemiparametric modeling of autonomous nonlinear dynamical systems with applications
In this paper, we propose a semi-parametric model for autonomous nonlinear dynamical systems and devise an estimation procedure for model fitting. This model incorporates subjectspecific effects and can be viewed as a nonlinear semi-parametric mixed effects model. We also propose a computationally efficient model selection procedure. We prove consistency of the proposed estimator under suitable...
متن کاملRELATIVE INFORMATION FUNCTIONAL OF RELATIVE DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS
In this paper by use of mathematical modeling of an observer [14,15] the notion of relative information functional for relative dynamical systemson compact metric spaces is presented. We extract the information function ofan ergodic dynamical system (X,T) from the relative information of T fromthe view point of observer χX, where X denotes the base space of the system.We also generalize the in...
متن کاملAd Unclassified 417777 Defense Documentation Center for Scientific and Technical Information
Estimation (filtering) theory for dynamical systems is reviewed. Emphasis is on time varying systems and nonstationary stochastic processes. The basic ideas for linear systems are presented in an intuitive manner using time domain techniques and the state variable concept. Both continuous and discrete time systems are discussed. A control problem and the principle of least squares curve fitting...
